    next step would be to check your controller system is pushing out the 5v for sensors and the headset/display unit. the brake sensor sockets if 3x wire/connections would be an ideal place to probe and check. An often overlooked issue can be the matting/sitting of the battery, with age and...

    Shipping an ebike

    If the seller will dismantle (pull front wheel,handlebar stem, seat, and pedals ) to pack in a standard bike box most couriers will carry at a fixed rate. YOutube vids aplenty of the packing procedure, and if you cant get a free box from round the back of a bike shop some couriers will...

    Ancheer 250w Electric Mountain Bike

    Typo above - @Az. means over 800W (Volts x Amps = Watts) Just fully charge the 48v battery before plugging in that way there should be no ambiguity over the battery connected and the control system should automatically adjust. If a depleted 48v battery is connected its low voltage may be...

    I say 4 kg, she was 4kg last yr everyone tells me she is bigger but i dont see it?? dont think she will get to 13kg, thats HUGE!. The rolling up in a towel is the next plan if coaxing with food fails, just dont want to let it get that far if it can be avoided.

    Ancheer 250w Electric Mountain Bike

    Your controller is already a dual voltage jobby see tye battery voltage on the label ;) Controllers are generally measured using the Peak Power output metric in amps, 15a is the typical controller for a eu/uk legal hub drive bike.. applying a controller with a significantly higher output such...

    I cant even get a 4 kilo kitty into a carry box for a vet visit (just booster shots).. had to cancel 2 x appts due to failure and cat hiding from me as a result. - current strategy is a bowl of food in the basket, got the weekend to acclimatise her..

    And as long as your 750w rated in a different zone motor rated 250w in the eu/uk is capped out at 15.5 mph thats cool, just as if an Aston Martin owner remains under the 70 mph speed limit on the motorway who cares his flash dick extension has the capacity for more speed... Regardless of how...

    Control display compatibility

    Some controllers can be run without a display-i/o without pas and only throttle control ie not UK road use compliant, by shorting/connecting the red battery voltage wire with the blue lock wire. - while the pic above shows the 'right' coloured wires.. that is still no guarantee. The display and...

    All Plastic mountings on hailong battery base/sled..

    Great idea when the controller void is empty. Mine is occupied however and i prefer the lack of an extra bolt on box/bag atm. Though long term it may become necessary if i only apply a bodge fix now.. Perhaps moving the single slot insert/washer to the top mount from the bottom may prove...

    All Plastic mountings on hailong battery base/sled..

    Is anyone aware of a source or the name of the slot shaped steel washer/inserts for use with 100% plastic hailong battery base/sleds? my google-fu has failed.. My kit came with a single 'slot liner'? which has remained secure, However the other fixings through the plastic slots were Made with...

    Can anybody recommend a trickle charger for a 36v ebike battery.

    If its a generic battery with a simple 2 wire charging interface, any reputable battery seller such as woosh should be able to help..

    Ebike charging using Street EV chargers for electric cars

    Why? will the lycra clad do things like exchange the cells in your battery for granola bars while you sleep?? or would open hostility stop them from offering a place to a lowly e-biker in the 1st place.. i would bet a fiver on at least a few lycra widows being a tad e-sympathetic ;)

    There are defined protocols for rating motors, granted they dont deal with specific values, more ranges of performance, and tbh the one time i glanced over them I was not equipped to read much from them, but i got there via a reference from the text of en15194 .. Fraid i dont have any links as...

    Where does wheel size "live" in the electricals?

    Also since only pedal assisted e bikes are conformant until, a pas sensor is plugged in and activated correctly you wont get the motor to run regardless of the speed/wheel size set. Yose also sell 350w non eu/uk conformant kits.. and controllers/displays from that line are not running hobbled...

    Where does wheel size "live" in the electricals?

    No, my limited understanding is that Generally the controller unit will recieve the configurable aspects from the i/o unit on startup. Yose equipment being conformant to the eu/uk regs runs hobbled firmware which may restrict your access to any configurable parameters or simply ignore them, -...

    Need New Front Wheel with Motor

    Thanks for picking that up.. A quick check of the Yose 700c kit description similar to mine does indeed specify V brake compatibility which is absent from yose-power (?official) 20" kit description, But Is listed in the description picture/banners of the amazon ad which also has some very...
